Geronimo in Captivity.

To all appearances neither Geronimo
nor any of his band entertain the belief
that fate has anything unpleasant in
store for them. They are quartered in
four big tents at San Antonio, and never
lived so well in their lives as they have
since their capture. When they arrived
in Texas the squaws were attired in full
evening costume, except as to the
legs, upon which they wore leather leg
gings, without which their flesh would
have been torn to ribbons in their flight
The bucks wore bit of cloth that looked
like porous plaster on their chests,
breech cloth and leggings; none of them
wore head gear. Their luxuriant growth
OF 1nky black hair seems quite sufficient
to protect them from i'll effects of sun
shine or storm. Since their arrival they
have been logged out in most gorgeous
style.
Geronimo wore pair of cow hide
boots, into which his white cotton draw
ers were tucked; his copper colored body
was covered with a calico shirt He and
his followers always wear their shirts
Chinese fashion, and 30 matter what else
they may wear, they never fail to don
the breech cloth, and in such manner
that it will show beneath the shirt.
Around his neck was a horsehair chain,
and suspended to it was silver crescent.
In order to show his visitors that he did
not carry all his clothes on his back he
disappeared for few moments within his
tent; when he emerged he wore short
sack coat buttoned up to the chin with
three different kinds of buttons, and a
broad brimmed felt hat. He looked
prouder than he had before, he accepted
a silver dollar with yard-wide smile,
and showed that he was not ungrateful
by making his visitors a present at least
of equal value. He also shook hands at
short intervals. Chicago Herald.

Proper Method of Interviewing

The Boston Pilot says of the Haw-
thorne-Lowen episode that Mr.. Haw-
thorne's mistake lay ''in not proceeding
with his interview after the manner of
professional journalists. Instead Of de-
pending on his memory for Mr.. Lowell IS
words, he should have taken out his note
book and pencil and written them down
as they were uttered" This is very true,
and then after the interview had been
put in type, a proof should have been
submitted to Mr.. Lowell, so that, if any
error. had been committed in the writing,
he could have corrected it. That is the
rule in The Sun Office, and it is the rule
which ought to be observed everywhere.

Demand for Flowers in italy.

The demand for Italian flowers is in
creasing year by year, and season after
season the inhabitants of the Riviera
are planting more flowers where for
merly they grew olives and grapes. This
is particularly the case in the neighbor-
hood of Nice, Cannes, Grasse, and Men
tone. From the beginning of November
till the end of May, 1885, 10000 boxes of
fresh flowers were sent away from the
Nice railway station, the value of the
flowers being $780, 600. One of the coun-
tries which have taken hint from Italy
is Germany, which is at present diligently
endeavoring to cultivate for the manu-
facture of scents, large quantities of roses,
violets, lavender, and rosemary.-New

THE UPPER DEEP.

Are thine eyes too dim to read
Azure pages writ in goldf
Mayhap, eyes like thine may need
Glasses, that they may behold
All the star writ revelation
On the pages of creation,
Glowing words OF thrilling thought,
Wonders so divinely wrought.
Place the glasses to thine eyes,
Read the wonders Of the skies,
Poems of the islands golden
Glowing in the upper deep,
Where each thought seems imagined, holden
In the eyes that never sleep;
Past'rals Of elysian plains,
Where the star writ glory reigns.

MURDER IN THE CoUNTY.-AS stated IN
the GAZETTE, during a row between two
Young colored men, named Robert Pinn and
.Euhn Carroll, on Friday morning, near Ar
ln2tep, the latter was shot through the
breast and instantly killed. 1t is not known
whether or not the shooting wss accidental
or Intentional. The DOLLY witnesses were
some children and their statements are so
confused that Common wealth's Attorney
Clements, Of the county, is still investigating
The matter AS far as can be learned the
two young men were good friends, and on
Friday morning they were seen talking
earnestly together. Suddenly pistol shot
was heard, and the next instant two little
coorcd boys, who were playing near by,
saw Pinn attempting to raise Carroll from
the ground, protesting that he did not in.
tend shooting him.
Another version of the affair is that Pinn
starting for work Friday morning,
missed his whip, and thinking that Carroll
had it, went TO tbs latter'5 house. Car
roll had the whip and gave it up without
ANY harsh words passing between them.
The young men then got to Gliding each
other about the amount of money they Eac
in their pockets, Pinn Offering to bet Car
roll that he could not show quarter. The
Inter then asserted that Pnn could not pro-
duce cent, which the latter did and the
refusal to look at The coin caused Pinn to
draw the revolver and shoot Carroll.
When the alarm was given some Of the
neighbors hurried to The spot and fourd the
lifeIess body of Carroll stretched on the
ground with bullet through his breast, but
Pun mad disappeared. Carroll and Pinn
were both ABOUT eighteen years of age end
were employed at the brick yards near Ar
lington The body OF Carroll was taken 10
his home in West Washington.
